More than 120 players teed off at the Ptarmigan Country Club on June 24, 2024, for the 3rd Annual Stewart & Hanrahan Golf Invitational, raising over $32,000 for WomenGive, a local program of United Way of Larimer County that provides support and financial assistance through childcare scholarships to single mothers pursuing postsecondary education. Over the last three years, the tournament has exceeded $60,000 for WomenGive.
“We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who worked so hard to execute and participate in this event,” says Laura Moritz, event manager for United Way of Larimer County. “Thanks to everyone’s efforts and generosity, the funds raised will provide up to eight childcare scholarships, making a meaningful difference in the lives of families in our community.”

The golf tournament was filled with friendly competition and inspiration as players enjoyed the day and contributed to making a life-changing impact for moms and their children. The fun day included a long putt contest, closest-to-the-pin contest, betting hole, dinner and award presentation to top scores.
The event would not have been possible without the help of many generous volunteers, including Colorado State University volleyball players. As ambassadors for WomenGive, they helped set up the event, passed out snacks, collected donations, ran on-course games and discussed WomenGive’s mission with players.
Additionally, sponsors helped cover event costs to ensure that the most money possible was donated to WomenGive. Sponsors included Ace Hardware of Fort Collins, Adams Bank & Trust, Allen Service, Breeze Thru Car Wash, Country Financial, Davidson Gebhardt, Glacier Creek Dental, Dominos, Gowan, High Country Beverage, Minuteman Press, New Horizons Travel, Scheels, Hot Corner Concepts, Waypoint Bank, Markley Motors, Human Bean Northern Colorado, VEI Global and The Picklr.
For co-founders John and Connie Hanrahan and Scott Stewart, the event combines their passion for golf and their desire to give back to the community. Each is a parent who knows how important childcare is to young parents. Stewart is a Colorado native and is an avid golfer. He has been a mortgage professional for more than 23 years and currently works for Bank of Colorado. John is a retired PGA professional and worked as the head golf professional at the Fort Collins Country Club for 25 years before making the transition to real estate in 2015. He and his wife, Connie, have been longtime supporters of WomenGive. Connie is a charter member of the organization and is also the owner of Mantooth Company, the marketing agency that helped execute the event.
